The tunnel thru the air : $b or, Looking back from 1940
Gann, William D. (William Delbert)
Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
The Japs had been the first to declare war upon the United States
and make an attack and they must be taught a lesson which they would
remember so long as the world stood. He ordered all the men removed
from their battleships and proceeded to discharge the death rays into
the water and destroy them. When he began to destroy the important
buildings the people thought that it was another earthquake because
they had not forgotten how their buildings had crumbled down years
before. He assured them that no lives would be taken, that they would
be allowed to sleep for 7 days in peace; leaving the city in darkness
and the inhabitants asleep, he proceeded to Melbourne and Sydney,
Australia.
Australia had remained neutral and was friendly to the United States.
He carried a letter of thanks from the President of the United States
to the people of Australia. Thanked them personally and told them
that they were now invited to join the United States in forming the
brotherhood of man in the United Kingdom.
The City of Mexico was next notified that they would have the final and
greatest demonstration of the power of Marie the Angel of Mercy. The
Mexicans and Spaniards knew that Supreme Commander Gordon was born in
the State of Texas. They remembered the Battle of the Alamo and Goliad.
The poor class of Mexicans refused to believe after Mexico had joined
with Japan and Spain against the United States, that any Texan would
spare their lives. They had prayed day and night since they learned
that the Supreme Commander of the United States with Marie the Angel of
Mercy was to visit them. He told them that this machine took its power
from the air and that the rays were powerful enough to melt down the
mountains and that he would destroy some of the mountains of Mexico
and all the old pyramids. Before he reached the City of Mexico, he
anchored over a mountain, turned on the death ray and the mountain
crumbled to dust. The old pyramids were also destroyed. When he
reached the City of Mexico, he informed them that he had destroyed the
mountains to fulfill the prophecies in the Bible which said that every
mountain should be laid low and every valley should be exalted. A large
part of forces of the enemy and their officers were located in the City
of Mexico and they were notified to flee to the mountains and hills
where they could watch the destruction of the buildings. The Supreme
Commander of the United States said that they would not be put to sleep
because he wanted them to watch the silent, sleeping city while it
remained in darkness for 7 days.
